2008 Harley-davidson Softail on 2040-motos

This beautiful Heritage Softail Classic was purchased new from our local Harley dealer (Bumpus Harley Davidson in Jackson, Tennessee) by a friend of mine.  I was with him the day he bought it and I rode with him on my bike for many of the 23,008 miles currently on the bike.

My friend rode Harleys over 40 years of his life and he took care of this bike completely, having it serviced either seasonally or per Harley-recommended service schedules, whichever came first.

But, now he is no longer able to ride it and I have been asked to sell it for him.

Anyone considering this model knows that the Heritage Softail Classic has the traditional old style Harley look, with the leather bags, laced chrome wheels, and lots of chrome.  The 2016 Heritage Softail Classic looks almost identical to this 2008 year model.  The 2016 model lists for $17,349 according to the Harley website, and that does not include the many pieces of extra chrome and enhancements on this bike.

This 2008 Harley-Davidson FLSTC Heritage Softail Classic (FLSTC) has a six-speed transmission and is powered by counter balanced 1584 cc (96 cubic inches) V-Twin Cam 96B Engine.  The counterbalancing makes it idle smoothly without the hake and vibration found in the most other Harley models.  It is belt driven and has a 5.0-gallon tank.  The empty weight of the bike is listed at 725 lbs.

This bike is in excellent condition and it runs great.  In the last two weeks I took it to a local Harley certified mechanic and had it completely serviced, with all fresh oil and fluids, and put on a new battery.

Both front and rear tire appear to have between 75-90% of the wear left.  I have not checked to see if the paperwork on the tires is still available, but I will do so and provide this to the buyer.

The windshield was replaced a few years ago after the original one was inadvertently scratched during cleaning.  I have included a photo of the windshield with this listing. 

Both exhaust pipes show signs of marring of the finish on both and are not perfect.  This tends to occur as a result of the hot surfaces coming into contact with cloth or something else that adheres to the surface, and cleaning reduces the shine.  I had this occur to more than one Harley I have owned and I replaced the chrome pieces involved.  Changing these exhaust pieces is relatively inexpensive and can be accomplished with little or no mechanical expertise.  These are the only blemishes I found on the bike.

This bike is available for viewing by appointment in Lexington, Tennessee.
